Folding Drying Rack for Finishing. YOU NEED THIS!

[@nicolasstanley1392]

this is exactly the storable rack I needed to see

[@ryanrents126]

I'm sure this has been said before but your style, and even your shop, is similar to Jay Bates. That's a compliment.

[@kleincarpentry1438]

Man! I'm glad I found your video first! I'm a wood worker who is new to finishing and do not have a ton of space in my shop for a drying rack. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@kingofkentucky918]

I'm about to add refinishing cabinets to my painting business and needed ideas to build my own rack. You're idea is the best so far. I think something like this is what I'm going to build. Thanks for this! You earned a sub to your channel.

[@d2woodshop687]

Dude! I love this project! It’s the best one I’ve found from a simplicity and compact use case!

[@jorgeguimaraes8129]

Kudos to Tyler. A very effective and simple concept and it will save me lots of money not having to buy a rack. Thanks for the video,

[@ricski64]

Whoa. Building tonight. Thanks Tyler

[@EgyptToEden]

I just built a folding drying rack based off of this design and it worked great! I did not put casters on the bottom however. In response to some of the other comments about putting nails on the rails, I think that would end up causing more damage due to accidental scratches while putting doors on and taking them off. I have personally never had any problems drying doors on square 3/4 rails. Tyler, thanks for sharing your work!

[@anthonyjannotti1841]

I'm about to do two large kitchen cabinets jobs and I only have a 2 car garage. You just saves my ass! LOL. Great idea.

[@uknowulikethat4042]

sure will come in handy, I had a drink every time I saw a hinge, I'm in bits now. :)

[@HagiWoodworks]

If you bevel the holding racks there's less surface area touching your work

[@pjmisley]

I just put those tiny push pins, the colored spherical ones people use on maps... leaves only a small area that touches and paint usually doesn't stick to the glossy surface of the tack/pushpin

[@harleylover4968]

Excellent idea, looks like it will work for what you need it for.

[@waynemiller6070]

Thanks for posting Tyler. I needed one of these as my garage was filling up with cabinet components and it's coming up on time to paint. I used pocket screws on the 2 by's instead of lap joints but really the plywood support panel you said wasn't necessary is actually all I believe is needed. I like your idea of hinging everything but I wasn't willing to buy them so I screwed base plates with casters to the bottom of each end. When I store mine I will need to unscrew them as well as the top support to collapse it. I also shot 2 inch nails through the one and a half inch racks to rest the work pieces on while drying. Your video was just what I needed to help keep me organized. The sanding is done and the painting starts today. The hinges definitely make yours cooler, but at least I can get the job done now. (thumbs up, liked and subscribed)

[@1coolkev]

Awesome Idea!! I'm going to build one. I have an idea for you that make it even more awesome. On each of the arms where the drawers will sit when they are drying, What about driving two very small nails into the 1x2s and then cutting the heads off the nail. The nail will raise the doors up off the wood so it can dry without touching the 1x2s. it will then allow the bottom of the drawer to dry without leaving a mark of the boards its sitting on.

[@ruinunes8251]

Very clever idea. I really like it.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Very clever idea. Great video as usual.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

This is great. I love it. Very handy. I"m not planning on doing any cabinet doors or anything anytime soon. But I do signs. And this may be super helpful. Thanks for sharing. I've not seen your videos pop up in a while. I think I've missed some. I have my xCarve doing it's thing right now... I think I'll catch up while he does all the work. :)

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Nice job! I really like half lap joints. It’s way stronger, it takes up less space and it just looks better.

[@Floreypottery]

Lovin this idea for my workshop and for making a drying rack for some pottery

[@StudioJLT]

This is great timing as I’ll be building knockdown ladder shelving for an art show I’ll be doing next month.

[@BronkBuilt]

That is a great idea Tyler. Nice job.

[@safetymanbr549]

Nice job brother. You just got a new subscriber!

[@dougburke50273wind]

Great idea and project.

[@BookofIsaiah]

Awesome design, Tyler!! I need to make one of these! Another great video, my friend!

[@danielmiller2977]

Great idea, great job, great video! Solved a lot of problems.

[@KSFWG]

Nice drying rack, Tyler! And if you don't have a ton of doors on the drying rack, you can always hang your skivvies up to dry after washing. lol

[@jameslovingood5624]

Very nice design

[@jenniferstaley3851]

I so need this. Great idea

[@robertweigandt9449]

Great little cart for doors and I think the price was right.

[@MrBubbajohnson1]

Nice project Tyler. Will be useful! Thanks

[@adaty78]

good job pal , its really useful

[@yodelingyoli]

That's gonna help so much for my project. I want to do a drying rack, but it folds in the height so that the hanging sticks come parallel to each other once folded.

[@DIYTyler]

Nice! Good luck with your build!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Cool concept, Tyler! I want to try something like this for when I make a bunch of cutting boards...so they can drip the oil off.

[@garynagle3093]

Great project!

[@bamabama7938]

He tyler going to be building one tomorrow the exact same way is it sturdy

[@soseverian]

This is BRILLIANT! The engineering is fantastic! Do you have the plans posted anywhere?

[@MILAD.VAHDAT]

Awesome 👏

[@1thinkhealthy]

Great concept. I think it could be used for other ideas as well.

[@timhalcomb4041]

Thanks for sharing very good project

[@raysmith1578]

Good idea, we in the UK don’t have dado saw blades so I would probably use a good old hand saw.

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

Ray Smith a router can be used

[@The_Bearded_Lady]

nice. gotta make me one of these

[@Usonian7]

I'd love to make this with 3 uprights for longer cabinet doors

[@mikehogan1827]

Nice design, and a good walk-through of the build. Now that it’s a couple years later, is there anything you’d change? Thanks.

[@stevenschmelling5597]

Awesome idea! I know it was largely a design as you build project, but it still turned out great. Having the benefit of seeing how you resolved some of those issues gave me some ideas on how to change up the design if I were to build one. Maybe put the slats on the outside instead of the inside, then they wouldn’t interfere with the hinged parts. I’d also be curious if it was still stable enough ( may not be) if you used the same hinge at the top, at the bottom, and didn’t use the side hinged pieces. It would be slightly less hardware, and should lock with gravity, the casters would still be at the ends of the “tee”. Just a thought.

[@clydedecker765]

I think I'd try putting nail points every 2 inches along the tops of the rails at say about 1/8 to 1/4 high to lessen contact with the painted surfaces. Could even just staple them to the sides of the rails.

[@epicdungeontiles]

Very cool, that's super useful. Might make a miniature one :)

[@africancichlids3011]

Nice job.

[@boxmfg]

Yes it is, awesome

[@JacobRoberts1]

Awesome build Tyler! I was thinking of how you might be able to make it open easier and it might work to mount some springs across the inside or the hinged joint so that they are in tension when it's collapsed and once you get past a certain opened spot it would spring open all the way. Thanks for posting great content!!.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really cool Tyler! 👍👊

[@jszafran2]

Definitely need to make this. Can you post a cut list?

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice video Tyler! thanks for sharing it with us.👍😎JP

[@dj-bn1fj]

For less contact use those small rubber peel and stick pads to hold your finish side off to the rails just a suggestion.

[@ArtByKevinZapata]

How much weight do you think it can hold??

[@AKendall808]

That hinged piece you put to hold the top portion apart could have been connected to an identical piece at the bottom. The weight of the vertical board connecting the two would hold them straight and keep the thing from folding up on you. Or, you could have had angled branches at the bottom of the center portion reach out to the bottom hinges. Again, the weight would keep them apart well enough for the job they have to do.

[@neilkightley3451]

You could always dado in the 11th set of supports at the top, so they don't interfere with the top hinged piece?

[@stevenschmelling5597]

Neil Kightley or even put them on the outside of the 2x6 instead of the inside.

[@donsdiys1140]

Now that’s sweet. Ok and awesome 👏

[@aroldfut]

Excellent design! Check the lighting of the plan portion. It was too light or I'm going blind.

[@andrewscharff6323]

What is the drill bit that you are using to pre-drill the holes? It is around the 2 minute mark when installing the hinge hardware?

[@WelshRabbit]

andrew, it looked to me like a "vix" bit, i.e., a self-centering hinge boring bit.

[@RemiDupont]

Wow! For a quick concept, really amazing! You are truly blessed with wood working talent!

[@woodbean3031]

Looks great, Tyler. I might make 2... one for my shop & one for my wife's art studio! Couple of thoughts: - What about using rare earth magnets & a washer in the end-grain of the short stretcher pieces to keep them from unfolding while moving instead of the manual clips? Do you think they'd be strong enough to hold it open in motion? - Did you consider bringing the supporting rails to more of a point (maybe beveling them) for less surface contact? What do you think would be pros/cons of that?

[@duanetjt]

Sounds like a good alternative, but if for some reason the connection is forced apart in some way, it could collapse the stand and send all your drying work to the floor. A physical locking joint maybe preferable, especially if people doing commissioned jobs with tight turnaround times.

[@Hobbyist78]

Awesome idea. I’m nicking this one. Thanks. With the alterations going on does that mean new shop too.

[@dennisgarber]

How much would it cost for the wood and hardware. I would not want the wheels.

[@daverabin2669]

Fabulous

[@christofix]

great idea!!! i subscribed your channel so i can see more videos of you!

[@ronnakeil3313]

Nice

[@emmettherman285]

I would like to use your cabinet plan (already purchased and downloaded) but what is a good method to scale down for my available space?

[@typeaboutit]

Hey Tyler, are you getting ready for a big project? Like a kitchen redo or something?

Sweet rack. Going to build one for my shop. You just gained a new subscriber. Where'd you get that material holder for your chopsaw? It's perfect for those smaller pieces.

[@bernardlauer2582]

U going to have plans for this

[@georgew84]

Would this work for a drying rack for art? Seems like one could do it with much lighter wood for the shelves (dowel rods maybe?). I need something for sheets of paper but don't see paying $100+ on a metal one when I can easily make my own for far less and it's collapsible!

[@GlennConner]

That cool! That would work good for me for painting or finishing outside, then roll inside to dry. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@joshwilson9356]

What is the tool you used @1:16 to hold short pieces in saw?

[@stevebustillo4342]

www.fastcap.com/product/10-million-dollar-stick

[@engieviral]

Did you ever consider using magnets instead of the clips to hold the rack open? Magnets in the end of the 2x4's would probably work almost as well.

[@mikemyers7317]

"Genius Gump"!

[@jonathanpederson]

What is that nifty hold down tool you used on your miter saw?

[@jonathanwelch7331]

Jonathan Pederson - looks like a FastCap 10 million dollar stick

[@jonathanpederson]

Jonathan Welch my thumb thanks you.

[@robertsparks3518]

Oh your so wrong my friend. First let me say cudos for the quick concept that can store away. I'm going to take this and adjust to my exact needs. But back to the point of offense. I infact live to paint. Love to paint and spend every day attempting to perfect custom & industrial coatings of every type. But seriously nice.👍

[@dougbeach7299]

@1:20 hey Tyler, where did you get that million dollar hand? I would like to get one too.

[@stevebustillo4342]

www.fastcap.com/product/10-million-dollar-stick

[@elenasimon1270]

I see bakers wanting this.

[@FaisalAhmed-kf9yf]

Design that clothes covering each other - long dry time - don't you think ?

[@tommy8120]

Okay finding those hinges right away in a bin was a setup... everyone knows how bad those things are for organization.

[@aidennymes6335]

what is your favorite color ?

[@DIYTyler]

Not orange that's for sure! lol

[@-_AjB_-]

Have you ever made 20 drawer fronts at once?

[@DIYTyler]

More than that!

[@manuelgarciafranco]

👏👏👍👍👍. Saludos.

[@MartinJerman]

the arms for the 20 spaces are too long. Maybe if the column would be more width it could flip up to reduce the area it uses when it is stored

[@DIYTyler]

They're exactly how long I need them for the width of the doors I am making.

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

Jameson and his wife from Rogue Engineering made a very similar one about 1yr ago ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnu6p4eZg92bbZY ). Only difference is his did not fold... which is a great touch Tyler!!

[@wannabewoodsmith4217]

first ???
